recounis the most daring stage robbery since
the famous Pcgly robberies of ten years ago.
Last night man stopped the stage plying
between San Anglo and Ballingter, ON the
Texas Pacific There were five men and
three ladies in the vehicle, from whom he
took nearly 5000. He also took their
watches, but afterward returned them. He
then stood all the passengers in line and over
the head of each drew a large cap, complete
ly hoodwinking them. He kept themin line
about two hours or until the stage from
Baliingter came in sight This was the
stage for him to order them into the coach
and canse the driver to hurriedly drive off.
Then he turned his attention TO the Balling-
ter coach in which were the gentlemen and
two ladies' He robbed them of all their
money, riied the mail bags of both coaches
and il is believed got several hundred dol
lars from the registered packages.

wives on an electioneering tour with
them, and had permitted them to be
placed on stand from which speeches
were being made, exposed to the gaze,
admiration and criticism of assembled
tbousands-as the telegraph reports was

whispered cuss words, to themselves, and
denounced the President, nt,-and perhaps
the first lady of the land also-and
finally criticised the taste and lack OF
delicacy displayed. We say wouldn't
they? You that can recall the brutality
of the average Democratic newspaper a

THE Democratic journals are trying TO
make point in favor Of this administra-
ton and its economic methods, by pub
fishing and commenting on the fact, that
while the Internal revenue collections
have largely increased during the past
two years, the cost per cent for collecting
it has been decreased. As all the inter
nal revenue officials are paid fixed sala-
ries, any school-boy can see at a glance
that, if the collections increase and the
cost of collection does not, that the rate
per cent for making them must be less.
Our Democratic contemporaries must
think that arithmetic is one of the lost
arts, among the people.

A Cats Bite.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 30.-Miss Annette
Halliday, living at No. "a Duffield street,
this city, is rapidly recovering from remar-
kable complaint. The primary cause was
the bite of pet cat, which occurred two
months ago The wound was mere scratch,
but gave a constant singing pain. A ply
sician gave her lotion for it, but the hand
swelled and startling and excruciating pains
began to rack Miss Halliday. The agony
was so terrible that she gave utterance, to
height of her paroxysms her cries resembled
the howls and screeches of cat. She is now
recovering.
